Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB FutureC+
The Broncos answered their biggest question with McCarthy. Grade: B-.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Broncos spent their marquee pick on J.J. McCarthy, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Pritchett. Every board in the league had McCarthy lower, and that gap is the story. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the interior defensive lineman spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 J.J. McCarthy
In the 12th overall pick they get the arm they will build around, a steep price for the projection.
Pick76 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
No drama and no debate, Brandon Dorlus went about where he belonged in slot 76. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick98 Rnd3 Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at pick No. 98 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick122 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
A quiet steal in No. 122: Jarvis Brownlee Jr. for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick144 Rnd5 Christian Jones
Nice patience on Christian Jones, who had no business lasting to the 144th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick146 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
Nehemiah Pritchett at Round 5, Pick 10 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick237 Rnd7 Trevin Wallace
Fair-plus on Trevin Wallace, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
